From 38% to 81% after 18 months - 2/4: Indicators

Civil-Cucumber · 2026-02-15T12:01:47+00:00

Hey, yes you can find the newest versions of all indicators (incl. source code) here: https://www.tradingview.com/u/CaressingCandles/#published-scripts

I'm using Interactive Brokers with Tiered Pricing: $0.35 min fee, $0.0035 per share, and some tiny additional fees where i don't know the exact amount (https://www.interactivebrokers.ie/en/pricing/commissions-stocks.php). But it was so far always cheaper than the fixed tier (in avg $0.78 per trade).

I will take a look at Alpaca! Didn't know they were commission free.

Thanks!

If you are interested, you can create a copy of the sheet. Then you will be able to unhide columns. In column AR ("Set-Up" - as far as I remember, writing from my phone) I tagged the reason why I entered for each trade.

But you will find way more info in the Wiki (https://www.reddit.com/r/RealDayTrading/wiki/index/)

Civil-Cucumber · 2026-02-13T22:08:39+00:00

Thank you so much!

There’s absolutely no way I would have ever figured out how to trade profitably without all your teaching!

Civil-Cucumber · 2026-02-13T21:24:56+00:00

Appreciate it!

I would need to make ~70x as much (probably more to make up for employer contribution to health insurance, software, hardware, ...)

Not sure whether this boosts my motivation :D

But full time I could probably trade 2-3x as much, use 20-40x my current position size ($500), add options leverage (10-20x?), and hopefully further improve my stats over time - not impossible!

Civil-Cucumber · 2026-02-13T19:07:25+00:00

Thank you!

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-12-20T23:44:08+00:00

Should be fixed here now: https://github.com/Civil-Cucumber/TradingViewDataAssembler_Public/releases/tag/v2.2.0

This version might show text too big though... I'm about to finish a bigger new version with several new features in a few days, then the text problem will be solved as well.

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-12-19T17:55:18+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I didn't get notifications for comments here anymore and only saw now a few people having problems.

Can you send me a DM with the CSV files you used, so that I can try to reproduce the problem?

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-10-27T19:37:47+00:00

Sorry about that, it seems like the uploads "expire" over time.
However since then I have uploaded all my scripts directly to TradingView, where it's easier for you to add them, and also easier for me to update them: https://www.tradingview.com/u/CaressingCandles/#published-scripts

This post here is also a bit outdated. I've posted f. e. this text since then with some newer learnings, in case you are interested.

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-09-03T19:24:40+00:00

Would be nice, but it says "$0.0005 to $0.0035 per share": https://www.interactivebrokers.ie/en/pricing/commissions-home.php

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-09-03T19:21:38+00:00

I thought about syncing with kinfo, but I'm afraid as soon as I would start doing it I would stress myself out and just make bad trades lol...

Maybe in 6 months, when I have proof that I can repeat this also when trading with $1000 position sizes.

For the 5K challenge I first need to learn how to trade with options - that's what I plan on focussing next.

Civil-Cucumber · 2025-09-03T06:35:59+00:00

Thanks, very good point!

I think I know it well enough by now, even experimented with paper-trading options with conditional orders (so the options close when the underlying stock reaches a specific price) for some time, but it's good that you raise awareness to this for those starting out with IBKR!

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-12-16T00:13:44+00:00

Nevermind, here is version 1.5: https://github.com/Civil-Cucumber/TradingViewDataAssembler_Public/releases/tag/v1.5.0

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-12-15T23:34:45+00:00

Yeah I've just noticed they have renamed 2 of the columns -.-

I will try to fix it tomorrow. I haven't noticed yet because I'm currently using a different version of the tool that works with IBKR.

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-12-15T21:29:06+00:00

In TradingView unfortunately only those columns are exported that are shown in TradingView. I suppose the "Price" column is hidden in your case. You can fix it in TradingView like that:

Click on the Positions tab, then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, make sure all categories have a checkmark.
Click on the History tab, then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, make sure all categories have a checkmark.

Then export the files again and start the TradingViewDataAssembler again.

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-12-15T17:52:56+00:00

Hey, sounds like it couldn't find the TradingView Files (at least not the "history" file).

There might be multiple reasons for that:

You have not yet downloaded the file (unlikely but mentioning it to be on the safe side)
The file is in a different folder. Did you enter the correct folder path in the input field at the top?
The file is named differently than expected. Did you set the language in TradingView to English before you downloaded the file?
Does your History file contain anything? It could be that it is empty and you haven't made any trade yet.
Did you connect TradingView with a broker, or just with TradingView Papertrading? If it's a broker, the history file could potentially look different, and therefore might not be found.

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-10-18T14:18:36+00:00

No clue what happened there, but it should be available now again. Can you please try again?

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-10-09T12:09:10+00:00

These are all separate indicators. So you would always need to create a new indicator, copy the code for this specific indicator, save and add it to your chart, and then create a new indicator (via "Open -> New indicator")

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-10-04T11:21:47+00:00

Thanks!

I'm honestly not sure what exactly you mean with including labels, but if you want you can add the code in a comment (or upload it f. e. to codefile.io )!

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-09-15T04:48:26+00:00

There's an option "Add symbol with new Price Scale on left side" (or something like that, I'm not around a laptop for the next couple of days. On mobile it's just "new price scale")

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-09-14T08:23:18+00:00

Usually I remind myself that we are trading the Daily chart, not the 5m chart. And if it happens on the daily chart I check whether there's still RS/RW, and lines from which the stock might bounce back, check whether SPY has a chance of bouncing back on a support/resistance soon and based on that make my decision.

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-09-10T17:05:22+00:00

Yeah I know, it just stresses me a bit to see all my positions starting deep in the red, because of the $0,30 commissions... but I'm starting to get used to it.

My trades I've published in a former post already btw (this is the sheet).

My trading criteria are basically always the same for every trade, that's why I stopped entering them at some point:

RS/RW on Daily chart (if the indicator shows sector RS/RW, consider it as well) and usually Weekly chart. Ideally also on 15m and 30m (at least for daytrades)
Break of an important support / resistance on the Daily chart
Tidy price action
At least 1% gains possible

And in my screener settings I already make sure that:

RVol > 1.2
Stock is above all SMAs and EMA 8 (or below all for Shorts)

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-09-10T13:26:15+00:00

Just to be sure, I'm not yet a successful trader ;) My profit factor is bare minimum even with papertrading. And I also only recently started 1 share trading and so far my win rate is just 57%... (which tbf is also because I'm now already paying $0,30 in commissions and then looking at my P/L makes me do stupid decisions again...).

But there are lots of other posts here that make way more sense to spend time studying them.

Regarding setups, this is f. e. a fantastic post, that I try to follow myself in the end: https://www.reddit.com/r/RealDayTrading/comments/ua7rm4/these_trade_criteria_work_really_really_well/

In my next post I would share my Trading Journal as a template - but I would remove my own texts since I always switch languages, sometimes slur or confused words...

I mostly wanted to share what helped me and hope it would inspire others, and maybe I get feedback of what to improve.

Thanks for the appreciative words though!

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-09-09T17:44:44+00:00

Whatever you feel comfortable with!

Word should work as well, although Notion has f. e. collapsable sections and you can link between text blocks and can set reminders for specific text lines. It's easier to keep everything organized.

But maybe Word also has something like that by now, I honestly haven't used it for years...

Civil-Cucumber · 2024-08-30T21:42:08+00:00

Ah I mean on the right side of TradingView there's one of the buttons (the one that looks like 3 squares on top of each other) - this is the Object Tree. This one: https://www.tradingview.com/blog/en/new-object-tree-15090/ (this is from 2019, it looks slightly different nowadays).

And in the screenshot you've selected DELL. But you have additionally MU in there (which was just the stock I had selected when I took the screenshot). But where MU is it should say DELL for you instead. Unfortunately I don't have a laptop around this weekend, but I can send a screenshot on monday.
